Christmas Sale Almost Over?

Listening to "Animal" by Miike Snow

If you've visited my store in the last few weeks then you've noticed that every week I've put some items on SALE. As part of my 25 Days of Christmas SALE I'm trying to make gift giving a little cheaper. Every Tuesday I am selecting a few items to reduce. These gifts are great for more than just Christmas. Birthday? I also have some fantastic gift cards. ;) Almost everything is under $13 except for one item that I'm very sad to part with. (see below)


This is my recycled bib necklace. I handmade this one and I am very sad to see it go. OOK definitely.



Thinking about something? Well then those gear are definitely turning.


Handmade copper piece strapped to a soft leather belt... cuff!



Small, wooden, lucite mum, and nice olive creamy button underneath. $5??

I'll be continuing the sale until the end of December even after Christmas for those late gift-givers and such. Please continue to watch for my sales that I'll be posting on here and a giveaway at the end of this month! I'll make sure to send a post out before I post the giveaway! Cheers!

Etsy Spotlight


Listening to "Against Me" by Thrash Unreal

If you're like me you have to absorb Etsy's homepage every now and then. The picks they display on their mainpage vary in everything. It's almost like eye candy sometimes and when I find that one piece that catches my green eye, HEART IT! For those of you unfamiliar with Etsy.. Literally, I click on it as a favorite item and I "heart" it.


Today I viewed Etsy's page and this canvas popped out at me. I know I've seen this artist's work before on Etsy but I must have been in some kind of food coma not to heart her. Her shop is GollyBard, http://gollybard.etsy.com/, and she is quite the artist. Her drawings are simple but aesthetically pleasing to my simple eyes. Above is the drawing that caught my eye. Fortunately for me I love texture and shapes... and that watercolor hits the right spot.

I encourage you to check out her shop. She has quite the array of artwork. I'm hoping that after Christmas to add one of her pieces to my wall. Hmmm... maybe this is when a gift card to an Etsy shop would be perfect. See my last post! ;)


Cheers!

Gift Certificates!


I know, I know. I have no idea why I didn't do this sooner. Sometimes you have that person that you know would want something from a particular store but what? That's when the ol' gift card comes into play.


I've had a few people ask me about these. I finally have been able to design and add them to my store. Right now I have simple denominations of $10, $25, & $50. I can do a custom amount too. Just ask. Took me awhile to create the PDF form but it will be a direct download. I can mail it free too.


Yay!

New Selections

In the last month I've ventured further into my Etsy shop and opened up more doors to accessories. I've always been a fan of the bib necklace and decided to try my hand at it with an up-cycled sandal. No it does not smell like feet. I guarantee it but it does have some beautiful sequins on it. From there I began dabbling necklaces. Of course, the button side of me took over and I began accentuating rings and bibs with these loves. I'm in the process of putting up a mini bib necklace up in the next week full of buttons and handstitches. Keep your eyes peeled for this beauty. I'm still working on it so no picture yet.

I've been using my best friend Bria as my model. She is so gorgeous. We've been using an old warehouse next door to my house to take pictures and they are turning out fantastic. Unfortunately, I left my camera somewhere and have had to use Bria's. Once I do find mine I'll redo some of the pics, especially close-ups on the rings and coaster necklaces.

I will be doing a giveaway shortly on my blog so please keep following. You can win items from my store! :)

Until tomorrow, adieu!
